Like he said, changed it to RGB if it's not already. in the layers toolbox, right click on the layer and in the menu that comes up click "add alpha channel".

Re: [Gimp-user] transparency in GIF
>>can someone please tell me how to get transparency in GIF's.. >>thanks and sorry if RTFM but i've checked and can't see anything but reference to >>it as supported...but how to turn on in final image? As GIF is an indexed color format, gimp loads the gif in indexed color format. This means you have a limited (max. 255) amount of colors to draw with. Other colors simply does not exist unles you change one of the colors in the palette to the disired color. Gimp cannot and may not change these colors, these colors are defined by you. Transparency requires more colors, as colors from one layer are merged with another layer to form the result. Therefore, in indexed color mode transparency is not possible. To use transparency, simply 1) load the image 2) convert the image to RGB (or grayscale) 3) do your transparency thingy 4) convert the image to indexed color 5) save as GIF Eric. note: I use the windows version with dutch locale _ Do You Yahoo!?

There is a better workaround since we have true transparency for web images. It has the disadvantage to only work with simple backgrounds, though. there are two layers: one with your image an one with the (simple) background of the webpage. Then "alpha -> selection" and save the selection into a channel. combine the two layers. invert the selection (after you get it back from the channel) and cut the background. Then you have a simple alpha, a region where the alpha fading is combined with the background and the picture. Now there is only the problem to convert the RGB image to indexed. The advantage: There is no border between the image and the webpage background (sometimes image colors are different from the same colors in images).

Re: [Gimp-user] transparency with png
There's a couple of scripts that take a background color (or layer) and make a thin halo around your transparent image. This won't make a smooth gradient, but if you have some idea what your background is going to be it looks great. Even against a patterned background the human eye is quite forgiving. The 2 I know offhand (I wrote one) are prep4gif and alphaGif.

And JPEG doesn't support any transparency. If you want fading to backgroud, you are basically out of luck until PNGs are more fully supported. (GIFs don't work because it only has transparency on or off, no fading). When I first joined this list, I was asking about fading to transparent for the web. And have given up. What I now do is have a GIMP XCF file with the "top" layer fading to transparent as I want, and a background layer that I can change at will. Thus for my pale yellow backround web pages, I can creat a new non-transparent JPEG which fades to my pale yellow. For a white background, I create another JPEG which fades to white, etc. This isn't ideal, for all of the obvious reasons, but it does work for most usages.

This approach works just fine unless the image has rounded corners, as many of mine do. Cropping leaves you with a rectangular image which, without a transparent background, causes annoying white (or whatever your background color is) artifacts outside the rounded corners.

Thanks. Why would it behave this way? Does that have to do with the way the browser handles the png graphic format? And why is it not transparent? Anyone have a clue? i could use jpg, but i like the quality of png better. I appreciate all the help!

RE: [Gimp-user] transparency with png
Thanks for the quick response. In IE 5.5, the background is light blue. In netscape 4.76 on my linux box, its black. the graphic is at http://jholland.nichware.net/alivepreview.html. i have no clue. seems like it would work. thanks for the help.

Re: [Gimp-user] transparency with png
If you unchecked the save background, it should have been fine. Which means your problem is probably not in GIMP but rather with using a browser that isnt fully alpha-in-png compatible. If you have a link, maybe some of us could take a look and see if it is fine in another browser. ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
